A day after strengthening their quarterback depth during free agency, the Raiders have landed a playmaker on the opposite side of the ball, as well.
Cory Littleton has agreed to terms on a three-year, $36 million deal which will send the star linebacker to Las Vegas, with the contract having a base value of $11.75 million per year.

The undrafted University of Washington standout exploded onto the NFL scene over the past two seasons, amassing 259 tackles, 7.5 sacks and five interceptions over the previous two campaigns while earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors in 2018.
This deal comes as a part of what was expected to be a busy offseason for the newly-relocated Raiders, as Jon Gruden’s team is looking to make a run out of the AFC West.
Las Vegas had a gaping hole at the linebacker position going into the offseason, but with the recent three-year signing of Nick Kwiatkoski followed by the acquisition of Littleton, it appears that the Raiders have patched things up at the position rather nicely.
